[Pine Bluff Telegraph Line letterhead] Little Rock [Arkansas] Sept 3, 1862. By Telegraph from Pine Bluff 3, 1862. To Maj. Genl [Theophilus Hunter] Holmes Can more than one prisoner be tried by court martial at the same time where they are jointly charged with the same offense Committed at the same time and by Common Consent. As paper is scarce and we have twenty five prisoners who deserted from Hauson's Company at one time - we desire to have the question settled the authority being in conflict. H.L. Grinsted [Hiram L. Grinstead] Co & Prst Court 62 Col [MS torn]
